    the other one was about one of the child's mothers being grateful "agradecimiento", and i don't think B is correct I put the one that said they used células madre, but I could be wrong.
    YES I AGREE , the woman was telling us of how she was agradecimiento. so that one i feel should of been correct, on the other hand he first one "A" did say that those two guys had a problem with their brain which was life threatening of something. It didn't mention in the audio about it being life threatening. I ALSO PUT CELULAS MADRES

    defiantly thought that the listening was harder than the other listenings done previously

    What did people get as the 5 letters for the kids who had the problem with their brains?

    I think i got:
    A-they have problems with their brains
    B- they're the first to have this new technique used on them
    I can't remember the letter but the one about their families thinking it was a miracle
    K- other doctors opposing it because they think its unethical
    I'm not sure what my other one was

    Help anyone?
    Yeah they are all the ones I got, and my other one was the most difficult but I think i ended up putting about the mum thanking the doctors or something

    You can resit it, but only in June next year. AQA don't do any January A2 language exams.

    Hey guys,
    I thought the listening today was really quite hard
    What sort of answers did everyone get for that fill the gap one on immigrants and the economy. Also the one with the guy who just had English immigrants move in next door to him?
    Anyone write about Requiem por un campesino espanol?

    Hey
    Thought the listening was difficult too - not a fan of the multiple choice ones.
    Also the reading section with the multiple choice was pretty tricky as well - was really ambiguous in places (v annoying).
    Was happy with the essay.

    The reading where you had to put the letters of the words that fitted gap fil about the immigration economy was ridiculous! What kinda words did everyone put? I remember putting beneficios for the first one, then in no order: estos, prejuicios, perjudica, receptor, gastando ..?
    I think I put exactly the same as you!


    I'm so annoyed in the translation I put 'irregular immigrants' instead of 'illegal immigrants'...just one example of how your mind can just go blank in an exam :/

    Did you do the past papers? Or the AQA zigzag ones?

    Aha did the same thing as you with irregular... although that still works so they better allow it! :P But for the first of those first ones i put perujuicios... because i thought the survey challenged common prejudices... probably wrong :P

    I put irregular immigrants too XD and i put prejuicios for the first gap...

    For the "embajada" i put the consulate instead of embassy, are those similar or completely off the mark? I can't believe i didn't see embassy in that word, its like staring at me now XD

    aghh i changed vayan to llamen and then i changed it to something else, so annoying!
    kind of agreeing with the general consensus, it was a lot trickier than stuff i've done in the past!
    fingers crossed for low grade boundaries!

    I put prejuicios too. I just seemed more logical than beneficios. I want to see the whole sentence again now!
